TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a polysiloxane obtained by using a silsesquioxane derivative and a method of producing the polysiloxane. The polysiloxane is expected to be applied in various fields including electronic material, optical material, optoelectronic material, paint, and primer.

Here, the term “silsesquioxane” is a generic name for compounds in which each silicon atom is bound to three oxygen atoms, and each oxygen atom is bound to another silicon atom. The term “silsesquioxane skeleton” to be used in the present invention is a generic name for a silsesquioxane structure and a silsesquioxane-like structure obtained by deforming part of the silsesquioxane structure.

BACKGROUND ART

Studies have been conducted on the application of a polymer containing a silsesquioxane skeleton to various fields because the polymer has a specific skeleton structure. A polymer having a silsesquioxane skeleton structure has been heretofore synthesized by a sol-gel method involving the use of alkoxysilane such as triethoxysilane. However, the sol-gel method involves a large number of problems, for example, the method requires a long reaction time, makes it difficult to control a reaction, and is apt to leave fine holes.

Further, in recent years, a polymer using silsesquioxane having a cage-type structure or a derivative thereof has been studied, and the polymer is expected to have excellent weatherability, heat resistance, physical properties, and optical properties. For example, Lichtenhan et al. have disclosed a method of producing a copolymer obtained by polymerizing a silsesquioxane having a cage-type structure containing a defect, that is, a so-called incomplete cage-type structure (a structure which is not of a complete octahedral shape and part of which is lost) with siloxane (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,412,053 and 5,589,562). The production method involves crosslinking the polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane by using a bifunctional silane, siloxane, or organometallic compound having amine etc. as a functional group. Lichtenhan et al. have also disclosed a method of producing a copolymer having, as its main chain, silsesquioxane of an incomplete cage-type structure bound with siloxane etc. and a method of producing a copolymer using silsesquioxane of a cage-type structure as a pendant copolymer component and methacrylic acid as a copolymer main chain component (Comments Inorg. Chem., 1995, 17 115-130). Further, Lichtenhan et al. also disclose a method of producing a silsesquioxane-siloxane copolymer by reacting —OH which is bound to Si at a corner of the incomplete cage-type silsesquioxane with, for example, bis(dimethylamino)silane (Macromolecules, 1993, 26 2141-2142). Anderson et al. have obtained a silsesquioxane oligomer by: lithiating a silsesquioxane having silanol with n-butyllithium; and reacting the resultant with a silsesquioxane having Si—Cl at one site in a perfect cage-type structure (Chem. Matter., 2006, 18(6) 1490-1497).

The inventors of the present invention have reported that a polysiloxane can be obtained from an organic silicon compound containing silanol and referred to as a double-decker structure alone or by reacting the compound with silane or siloxane having Si—Cl (WO 2005/000857). Further, the inventors have reported that a linear polymer having a perfect cage-type structure on its main chain can be obtained by reacting a silsesquioxane having two silanols at positions symmetric with respect to each other with a siloxane having Si—Cl (JP 2006-22207). These documents discloses a method of obtaining a polymer of a silsesquioxane, but these documents describe neither a compound corresponding to a polysiloxane containing a reactive group at a terminal of its polymer main chain to be provided by the present specification nor a method of producing the compound.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Further improvements in heat resistance, electrical insulating property, durability, and moldability etc. have been particularly demanded in electrical and electronic materials. However, conventional silsesquioxane copolymers are not sufficient to satisfy the demands for these characteristics. In view of the foregoing, a compound having a cage-type silsesquioxane structure as its main chain and having clearly determined binding position, which is excellent in heat resistance, electrical insulating property, weatherability, hardness, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance, etc., has been demanded.

The inventors of the present invention have found that a polysiloxane represented by the following formula (1) or (2) can be synthesized by reacting a silsesquioxane represented by the formula (1-0-1) with silane represented by the formula (1-0-2) at an appropriate ratio. Further, the inventors have found that a polysiloxane containing a reactive group at a terminal of its main chain can be obtained by performing the reaction with, for example, a reactive chlorosilane. Thus, the inventors have completed the present invention.

The term “optional” as used herein means that not only a position but also a number is optional. When multiple groups are replaced by other groups, groups by which the multiple groups are replaced may be different from each other. For example, the case when optional —CH₂— in alkyl may be replaced by —O— or —CH═CH— means that the alkyl may be alkoxyalkenyl or alkenyloxyalkyl. In addition, any one of alkoxy, alkenylene, alkenyl, and alkylene in these groups may be linear or branched. However, in the present invention, adjacent —CH₂—, i.e., (—CH₂—)₂ are not replaced by (—O—)₂. In addition, the term “carbon number” denotes a number of carbon atoms in the group.

Further, in the present invention, a structure in which four oxygen is bound to Si is referred to as Q structure, a structure in which three oxygen is bound to Si is referred to as T structure, a structure in which two oxygen is bound to Si is referred to as D structure, and a structure in which one oxygen is bound to Si is referred to as M structure. Therefore, the term “T₈Q₂ structure” means a structure obtained by combining eight T structures and two Q structures.

According to the present invention, a polysiloxane compound having, on its main chain, a silsesquioxane skeleton having Q(T₈Q)_(n) structure or T₈(QT₈)_(n) structure can be obtained. Further, a polysiloxane compound having, for example, M₂Q(T₈Q)_(n)M₂ structure, DT₈(QT₈)_(n)D structure, or M₂T₈(QT₈)_(n)M₂ structure can be obtained by capping the resultant polysiloxane with a silicon compound containing a reactive group. Further, an organic-inorganic composite material can be produced by using the resultant polysiloxane.

The above-mentioned first step of obtaining Compound (1-c) may be performed by a method involving reacting Compound (1-a) with Compound (1-0-4) shown below or by a method involving reacting Compound (1-a′) with Compound (1-0-4).

One of Compounds (1-0-5) having any one of the above-mentioned functional groups and alkenyl is allowed to react with Compound (1-c) in which at least one of A's represents hydrogen and the remaining of A's independently represent alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl, thereby Compound (1-d) in which at least one of A's represents —CH₂CH₂A′, and the remaining of A's independently represent alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl is obtained. Reacting at least two kinds of Compounds (1-0-5) each having any one of the functional groups with Compound (1-c) in which at least two of A represents hydrogen suffices for the synthesis of Compound (1-d) having at least two different functional groups. In this case, Compound (1-d) can be obtained by reacting two kinds of Compounds (1-0-5) having the functional group with Compound (1-c) in mixture or by reacting the first Compound (1-0-5) and the second Compound (1-0-5) with Compound (1-c) sequentially in consideration of a difference in reactivity of the two kinds of Compounds (1-0-5).

A solvent to be used in the hydrosilylation reaction between Compound (1-c) in which at least one of A's represents hydrogen and the remaining of A's independently represent alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or phenyl and Compound (1-0-5) having the functional group is not particularly limited as long as the solvent does not inhibit the reaction.

Of these solvents, the aromatic hydrocarbons are preferable, and, of the aromatic hydrocarbons, toluene is particularly preferable.

Although the reaction between Compound (1-c) and Compound (1-0-5) having the functional group does not necessarily require a solvent, solvent, if used, is prepared so as to have a concentration of preferably 0.05 to 80 wt %, or more preferably 30 to 70 wt %.

The ratio of Compound (1-0-5) having the functional group with respect to Compound (1-c) varies depending on purposes.

In addition, when part of —SiH groups are left, the number of moles of the Compound (1-0-5) having the functional group has only to be equal to or smaller than the number of moles of Compound (1-c).

The reaction may be performed at room temperature, or may be performed under heating so that the reaction is promoted. In addition, the reaction system may be cooled as required for controlling a secondary reaction due to heat of the reaction.

Next, hydrosilylation catalyst to be used in the hydrosilylation reaction in the present invention will be described.

Preferable examples of the hydrosilylation catalyst include Karstedt catalyst, Spier catalyst, and hexachloroplatinic acid; these compounds are well known in the technical field.

The hydrosilylation catalyst to be added has only to be used in such an amount that the transition metal in the catalyst accounts for 10⁻⁹ to 1 mol % of the SiH groups; and preferable addition amount is 10⁻⁷ to 10⁻³ mol %.

As shown in the following formula (IV), another method of producing Compound (1-c) involves reacting Compound (1-a) with Compound (1-0-4).

A in the formula (1-0-3), (1-0-4), and (1-c) each represent a group defined in the same manner as A in —OSi (A)₃ of R¹ or R² of the formula (1) or (2).

In addition, a compound represented by the formula (2-a) can be obtained by reacting Compound (1-0-1) with Compound (1-0-2) in such a manner that a ratio of the number of moles (N) of Compound (1-0-2) to the number of moles (M) of Compound (1-0-1) is 1 or less, or preferably 0.1 to 1 as shown in the following formula (V). Then, Compound (2-b) can be obtained from thus obtained Compound (2-a) in the same manner as in the formula (II) or (III).

The following procedure may be adopted: after Compound (1-0-1) and Compound (1-0-2) have been reacted with each other at a ratio N/M of more than 1 to provide Compound (1-a), Compound (1-a) is allowed to react with Compound (1-0-1), or after Compound (1-0-1) and Compound (1-0-2) have been allowed to react with each other at a ratio M/N of more than 1 to provide Compound (2-a), Compound (2-a) is allowed to react with Compound (1-0-2). Further, such reactions may be alternately repeated.

It should be noted that a reaction similar to that described above can be performed by reacting Compound (1-0-1′) instead of Compound (1-0-1) with Compound (1-0-2′). In a formula (1-0-1′), M represents alkali metal, and preferably sodium or potassium.

In this case, Compound (1-a′) shown below or Compound (2-a) shown above is obtained.

In this case, X′ in the formula (1-a′) and (1-0-2′) represent halogen, and preferably chlorine. In addition, a reaction for synthesizing Compound (1-c) from Compound (1-b) and for synthesizing Compound (2-b) from Compound (2-a) can be performed in the same manner as in the method of obtaining Compound (1-c) from Compounds (1-b) and (1-0-3) represented by the above-mentioned reaction formula (II) and the method of obtaining Compound (2-b) from Compounds (2-a) and (1-0-3) represented by the above-mentioned reaction formula (VI), respectively.

In addition, Compound (1-d) can also be obtained by performing such reaction as shown below. Here, A represents a group defined in the same manner as A in —OSi(A)₃ of the formula (1) and (2), and X represents a group capable of reacting with silanol such as halogen, alkoxy, or acetoxy. Specific examples of Compound (1-0-6) include dichlorosilane and dichlorodiphenylsilane.

The above-mentioned reaction between the compound represented by the formula (1-0-1) and the compound represented by the formula (1-0-2) can be performed in an organic solvent. The above-mentioned reaction between the compound represented by the formula (1-0-1′) and the compound represented by the formula (1-0-2′) can be performed in an organic solvent.

An organic solvent to be used for production of the polysiloxane of the present invention can be used as long as the organic solvent does not inhibit the progress of the reaction for the production. Specific examples of the organic solvent include: aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane and heptane; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and iso-propanol; ethers such as dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and 1,4-dioxane; acetates such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and butyl acetate; amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; ketones such as acetone, 2-butanone, and methyl-iso-butyl ketone; acetonitrile; and dimethyl sulfoxide. Of those, tetrahydrofuran and the acetates are preferable because each of them can dissolve a raw material and a product. In addition, the volume of the organic solvent, which is not particularly limited in the present invention, is 0.01 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of Compound (1-0-1). The reaction may be performed at room temperature, or may be performed under heating so that the reaction is promoted. When heat generation due to the reaction is not preferable, the reaction system may be cooled for the purpose of controlling the reaction.

A polysiloxane in which silsesquioxanes and Q structures are alternately bound [represented by each of the formula (1-a) and (2-a)] can be produced by such reaction.

Next, a method of capping the resultant polysiloxane [represented by each of the formula (1-a) and (2-a)] with a chlorosilane having a group will be described. A polysiloxane having a reactive group represented by each of the formula (1) and (2) can be produced by applying a conventionally well-known method for reacting silanol and the chlorosilane with each other.

A polymer obtained by the present invention, that is, the polymer being obtained by introducing a skeleton having a cage-type structure to the main chain of the polymer, is assumed to have improved heat resistance and improved physical strength because rigidity is imparted to the polymer by virtue of restriction on the movement of the main chain. In addition, the polymer is expected to have high optical permeability because of the specificity of its structure. In addition, the polymer of the present invention can be utilized in a wide variety of applications because the polymer is expected to be excellent in, for example, solubility, heat resistance, mechanical strength, optical permeability, gas permeability, dielectric constant, flame retardancy, adhesiveness, and processability. Examples of expected applications of the polymer to electrical and electronic materials include: coating agents for substrates, such as a metal elution-preventing film, a gas barrier film, and an antireflection film; coating agents for semiconductors, such as a liquid sealing agent and an interlayer insulator; optical elements such as a microlens, a light-guiding plate, and an optical waveguide material; display substrates; and substrates for printed wiring. In addition, the polymer may be blended with any other components such as an antioxidant, a colorant, and a filler before use as required to such an extent that the initial properties of the polymer are not impaired.
